        "content": "<p>Home Affairs Minister Muhammad Tito Karnavian, who heads the Task\nForce for the Acceleration of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (PRR)\nfollowing disasters in Sumatra, said efforts to address the damage were\ncontinuing in line with targets. These include rehabilitation and\nreconstruction of infrastructure and facilities for micro, small and\nmedium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).<\/p>\n<p>Tito made the remarks at a meeting and press briefing on progress in\nrehabilitating and reconstructing infrastructure and MSME facilities\ndamaged by natural disasters in Sumatra. The event was held at the\nMinistry of Home Affairs headquarters on Wednesday, 28 October 2026. It\nwas attended by MSME Minister Maman Abdurrahman and Public Works\nMinistry Secretary-General Apri Artoto.<\/p>\n<p>According to the master plan for rehabilitation and reconstruction,\npost-disaster recovery in Sumatra is scheduled to run from 2026 to 2028.\n\u201cThe most important point is that accelerated rehabilitation and\nreconstruction in Sumatra is continuing, and will continue through\n2028,\u201d Tito said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Public Works Ministry had a major responsibility\nfor rebuilding damaged infrastructure, including roads, rivers, bridges\nand educational facilities. Many rivers had become silted up and\nrequired urgent attention, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the sediment is not dealt with, even a little heavy rain will\ncause flooding again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Tito said post-disaster recovery in Sumatra would take time because\nthe natural disasters had caused widespread damage. Subsequent\ndisasters, including floods, had also damaged infrastructure that had\nalready been repaired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that is our challenge. We will not stop tackling this in order\nto protect the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Public Works Ministry Secretary-General Apri Artoto outlined progress\nin infrastructure rehabilitation and reconstruction during 2026. The\nwork covers irrigation systems, rivers, national bridges and roads, as\nwell as health facilities and places of worship. \u201cWe will continue to\naccelerate the recovery process so that it is not only fast, but also\nwell-targeted and sustainable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>MSME Minister Maman Abdurrahman said his ministry was tasked with\nsupporting economic recovery in the three affected provinces.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry\u2019s responsibilities include distributing presidential\nassistance to 200,000 microbusinesses, procuring production equipment,\nempowering MSMEs and operating the Klinik UMKM Bangkit (MSME Recovery\nClinic) service. The programmes are currently being rolled out gradually\nin affected areas.<\/p>",
